A corporate executive who has fallen from grace seizes an opportunity to salvage his career with the help of his ambitious wife in this gripping, psychologically astute New York Times–bestselling novel from the author of Executive Suite The keys to Lincoln Lord's success have always been his charm and amiability. He has been president of five different companies and serves as chairman for the White House's Far East Trade Mission. But now, just shy of fifty, he is no longer considered the boy wonder of business. He's unemployable. He and his wife, Maggie, have been forced to move out of their suite in Manhattan's Waldorf Tower and they have yet to pay this semester's tuition for their seventeen-year-old son's private school. Then Lincoln is thrown a lifeline. Coastal Foods, a struggling cannery in New Jersey, needs a top executive to help get the company back on its feet. For the first time, Lincoln feels a part of something bigger than himself. And when he and Maggie are drawn into a major crisis at the plant, his leadership position is no longer just a job—or a steppingstone to the next one. It's a means of reclaiming his pride, his family, and his humanity.
